NamesToBe.com:"We at NamesToBe.com strive to provide a fun and informative way for parents to not only choose baby names, but also gain more knowledge about pregnancy and parenting.
After scouting the internet for existing baby names sites, we came to the conclusion that most, if not all, were bland and boring. So when designing this site, we kept in mind that people would enjoy a site that was pleasing to the eye as well as informative.
NamesToBe.com is a relatively new site, established in June 2004. Our number of visitors each month is growing at a rate of about 45%, and we soon hope to become the premier baby names site on the internet!"http://www.namestobe.com

Physiological Changes Associated with Pregnancy, Update in Anesthesia:"Physiological and anatomical alterations develop in many organ systems during the course of pregnancy and delivery. Early changes are due, in part, to the metabolic demands brought on by the fetus, placenta and uterus and, in part, to the increasing levels of pregnancy hormones, particularly those of progesterone and oestrogen. Later changes, starting in mid-pregnancy, are anatomical in nature and are caused by mechanical pressure from the expanding uterus. These alterations create unique requirements for the anaesthetic management of the pregnant woman."
